Done a search and found loads of people asking how to fit electric windows to a car thats not fitted with the elctric window loom but no real answers apart from its too hard to do etc.

Has anyone done it and if so where do the wires all go (What wires go where and join to what wires on the cars loom etc)?

I will be fitting it with my boyfriend who is very handy with a soldering iron

How would you know if the loom is already there? As in where would it be placed?

Thanks

probably more trouble than its worth!

getting wires, motors, runner, taking door to pieces etc etc... may end up cheaper upgrading to a higher spec corsa with them as standard

ill help out if you want, I've never done it before, but I've fitted a clifford to my corsa by myself and I'm pretty good with auto electrics, plus I want to do this at some point too. All it is is a couple of switches and relays.

if you do not have the early look that is wired for it then it is a BIG job.

if you do then grab everything on both doors and swap it. if you havent got electrics locks grab those too. (module is behind the ECU.)

Cant be that hard...most of the wires probably got to the other door!

I have done the conversion better if you get a loom from an other corsa also I had the dashboard removed so i could pass the all wires.
